Hi there,

that document is for the older Header Element:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/header-element-overview/

Are you using that?

As we have a better way with the Block Editor.

Let me know.

hello david,

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/header-element-template-tags/#custom_field-name

WordPress has its own built in Custom Fields:

https://wordpress.org/support/article/custom-fields/

And there are plugins like ACF, PODs or Metabox that can help with adding Custom Fields.

When you edit a post and create a Custom Field you give it a name:

e.g my-custom-field or my-description or anything-you-want

And a value.

In the GP Header Element you can use the template tag to display the value of the custom field eg.

{{custom_field.my-custom-field}}

hello

i creat custom field like this :

and in GP Header Element i set like this:

but in page i only see :array,the url is https://gp.jianzhanbang.tech/acf-test

some mistake ?

[David]

Try a different Name eg.

hiwp-company

It needs to be unique. And maybe somewhere else the name company is being used.

Hello David ,

ok now.

here has other question about cf:

only header element can use template tags with cf or hook ,block, layout also can use cf.

thanks.

[David]

only header element can use template tags <– correct

If you want to use them in Block element then you can do it with GenerateBlocks plugin. Are you using GenerateBlocks ?

Ok 🙂

So each GB Block has a Dynamic Data option eg. the Headline Block:

https://docs.generateblocks.com/article/headline-overview/#dynamic-data

1. Select the block.
2. Enable Dynamic Data
3. Set the Data Source to: Current Post
4. Set the Content Source to: Post Meta
5. In the Post Meta field add your custom field Name.

Hi Bruce,

You used a GB Headline Block. You’ll need to use a GB Image Block instead.

Hello Fernando,

GB block with custom field only can display text ?

images files can not use GB Headline Block ?

thanks.
